I love peanut butter and think that there simply cannot be enough sweets in the world that are filled with peanut butter. So when I entered an American supermarket last week I felt really great. I thought there would only be M&Ms filled with peanut butter (which I have to report were sold out on the day of my visit), but I discovered so much more: Hershey kisses, Hershey peanut butter filled chocolate, Chips Ahoy with peanut butter and Reeses fills chocolate in any shape or colour with peanut butter.
I felt like a kid in a candy store (well I am a semi grown up person and I stood in the candy aisle of an American supermarket, which is just enormous and will turn just about anyone into a happy kid who just wants to explore for hours).
I got some surprised comments from the shop assistant when I paid for my purchase.
"You really like sweets?"
Me beaming: "We don't have all these peanut butter filled chocolates in Ireland."
"Really, that's strange."
"I know, but I noticed there were no peanut butter filled M&Ms. I am really disappointed."
Here the shop assistant really sensed my distress and ensured me that the M&Ms would be back very soon... sadly they weren't...
